Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security50
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 15 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 127 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability31
- 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Fail
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Tool/resource definitions use about 2771 tokens (~46/item across 59 items; 58 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
- Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage38
- 33% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Partial
- 16% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "clear_scene" implies "remove" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 59 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the io.github.daedalus/mcp-manimgl server?
io.github.daedalus/mcp-manimgl runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx mcp-manimgl. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

verify_scene_overlaps Verify Scene Overlaps ~160
Detect overlapping visual elements (mobjects) in the current scene. Computes axis-aligned bounding boxes for each mobject based on its stored position and dimension properties (radius, width, height, side_length, font_size). Reports any pair whose bounding boxes intersect. NOTE: Positions are only reliably updated by move_to(). After shift/scale/rotate/next_to/align_to, the stored position may be stale. Text and TeX dimensions are estimated from font_size and character count — actual rendered glyphs may differ. Returns: List of overlap reports, each with the pair of overlapping mobjects, their positions, types, and overlap magnitudes. Example: >>> verify_scene_overlaps()
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
verify_video Verify Video ~85
Inspect a rendered video file and return its technical properties. Uses ffprobe to extract codec info, streams, duration, resolution, and bitrate. Verifies the file exists and has both video and audio. IMPORTANT: Always use this MCP tool for scene operations. Do NOT write or execute standalone manim scripts.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| video_path | string | yes | Path to the video file to inspect. |
